✦ Synopsis

ArDM aims at developing and operating large liquefied noble gas detectors to search for direct evidence of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMP) as Dark Matter in the universe. An approximately 1-ton liquid argon prototype is designed and assembled at the time being, in order to assess the validity of the design. Our setup addresses the possibility to independently detect ionization and scintillation signals, in order to being able to efficiently detect WIMPs and discriminate their signals from various background signals. This goal and the conceptual design of the detector are described.
